5.0

Real score: That cannot be represented as something as simplistic as a number. It can only be a word. So. This is unlike anything, ever. You can call it Dark Academia, Fantasy, Bildungsroman, Horror, but those are not enough. You’ve never read a book like this. I have never read a book like this. I’m not sure what else I can say.
